No, there isn't an extension point for it. Why do you need it?

I want highlighted text of html am storing. I don’t want to store both html and stripped html neither. I was wondering how the attachment plugin is doing it. Though we are giving a base64 encoded text , its able to generate highlighted text of stripped text from the attachment. Is it storing both the base64 text and the stripped text while indexing an attachment ? Currently am getting highlighted text and then stripping the tags from it but then as you can guess it has some issues. If you know some work arounds , please let me know.

@Shay - Is there any suggestion that you have without eating up space ? Also will you consider opening a plugin point for highlighting. Am sure many will benefit from it.

Why not strip the text from html before you index the data? Do you need to html version as well?

Along with this i have custom file formats in my company. If there was a plugin point for highlighting , i could have easily provide a zero space overhead solution.
